@ironjade Ok, I see what you were trying to get at. You need to fix alignment of the BP template pages in line with your theme’s HTML structure which you should go through after Appearance > BP Compatibility.
To proceed with getting the HTML structure in line, open up your Ithaca theme’s header.php, copy all code, paste code in pastebin.com, click submit, then post the generated URL here. Do the same for ithaca theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php
Hi Paul – thanks for the reply!
Yep it does – works for everything: Posting new stories in the blog. Commenting on other people’s profiles. Making groups, etc. The only thing it doesn’t work for is the forum.
If it helps, I literally installed Buddypress from within the latest version of WordPress and I installed the stand-alone bbPress forums from within the Buddypress forum settings.
Yes, registration is “off” by default. You turn on registration only if you’re opening up your site for public participation. To enable registration for a single WP site, go to dashboard menu Settings > General – Membership and click on box to allow registration.
As to list bullet points and the BP elements extending past widths set, copy some or part of the style modifications for Twenty Ten child theme per link I gave at the end of the alignment instructions.
It should work. Does your activity stream work for content generated in BuddyPress?
B. Copy sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php
Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the top, above all code contained within, add this
`
<div class="”>`
Then at the bottom, below all other code, add this:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save file.
C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/denizen/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php are located.
Final note: You might want to check out the style modifications to contain some BP elements as a guide https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
@udotorg Based on initial scan, to make your theme compatible with BuddyPress, you only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php
If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your evolution theme folder during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your denizen theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, members, groups, register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.
A. Copy header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php
Open up header-buddypress.php and at the bottom of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`<?php
$sidebar_layout=get_post_meta($post->ID,’kaya_pagesidebar’,true);
$img_width=kaya_image_width($post->ID);
//sidebar class
$aside_class=($sidebar_layout== “leftsidebar” ) ? ‘one_third’ : ‘one_third_last’;
?>
<div ID); ?>>
<div id="post-” >
I’ve done a default install of Buddypress on a default install of WordPress. In Internet Explorer, the top (default) menu is vertical instead of horizontal, giving me a double header image (when I change the header image).
Also, there is no “create account” – new registration – option anywhere on the site. Only a login box, which goes to a WordPress login screen and does not have any option for someone to create a new user acccount. Any ideas??
Hi guys,
I’m loving BuddyPress so far. But I’ve installed the bbPress site-wide forums and whenever I post, it doesn’t update my activity feed with the forum post. Why is that? It says activity feed updating is part of the features in the installation.
Thanks!

Thanks
Take a look at “Member settings pages are blank” on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/developer-and-designer-information/
Only relevant if your theme was created before BuddyPress 1.5?
Hello,
i have a test installation of buddypress. I installed the plugin buddypress-profile-privacy http://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-profile-privacy/home/. This protects only the the profile-page. If I go to the groups-page the protection does not work. So I can see the activities, groups and events of the user, although he marked “show groups/activities/events only to friends”.
Is there a way to make the privacy sitewide?
Best regards Roman

@mercime That worked perfectly! Thank you for your help! For anyone else who would like to limit their activity with the load more option still functioning below is the code snippet. Just replace the line of code in your themes activity-loop.php that says:
if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) ) ) :
With this one:
if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) . ‘&per_page=5’ ) ) :
for some reason i cant create a fresh topic?
can anyone help me with this problem..
my site has a problem with someone using around 3 googlemail email addresses to keep registering on my buddypress powered website to the point where their details have remained enscribed on my sites registry form..
is there a way to get rid of this please..?
many thanks in advance
@prometheus-fire I’m a long-time WP guy, but brand new to BP. I did find an example of adding a custom activity message at http://bp-tricks.com/snippets/adding-a-new-activity-stream-entry-when-a-user-changes-his-avatar/
Hope that helps.
from the User Profile area on the front end all links work perfectly fine except the settings link. It resolves out to a blank page. Buddypress 1.5.4 but was doing this before the update in 1.5 as well.
Passwords also seems to be a huge issue… people are constantly being asked to reset them almost on a daily basis. I think these 2 issues are related… because if we could get to the settings area for the profile, that is where the password can be changed.
Now, to reset password we are forced to use the WP screen.
Someone please help…
Hi everyone,
I would like to show you my WordPress/BuddyPress powered project, which just launched its public beta a few days ago.
You can find it at http://www.querya.com/
With Querya you can start your own question & answer community. It is similar to stackoverflow.com / stackexchange.com but open for everyone to create an own q&a site. Users can post questions and get answers from experts around a certain topic area. Currently its in german only, but maybe also available in other languages soon.
The system is based on WordPress and BuddyPress and uses about 16 different WordPress plugins, like BuddyPress Rate Forum Posts, Cubepoints, Invite Anyone etc. At this point many thanks to the amazing WordPress Community!
Since the side is build on WordPress/BuddyPress I started a q&a site around WordPress and BuddyPress of course
Have a look at http://www.querya.com/groups/wordpress-buddypress/
I am interested in feedback and suggestions. Although the language is german I am sure non german speakers will be able to understand a little bit
Feel free to post questions & answers and let me know what you think about it.
Cheers!
Daniel
@djpaul, i re arranged it in members/index.php, but it just change the order of the filter tab, by default it still show last active member first on the list
Firstly, I must apologise if this has already been covered. Although the advice says to thoroughly search the forum, I can find no way of doing this (the search box at the top only returns entries from the blogs).
So, I would like to ask – is it possible to change the names of certain BuddyPress components?
I am setting up a members-only site for a small charity, and my testers are saying that they don’t understand the difference between “Groups” and “Forums”. Therefore, I would like to change them to “Forums” and “Topics” respectively.
I’ve found the way to change the url slugs with `define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘classes’ );` etc, but not the on-screen terms.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Peter
Hi I have installed WP 3.3.1 plus BuddyPress 1.5.4, all nicely beautifully just as it wants to enter into a user option does not find this page. The problem is also a list of users, one does not display. What may be the problem?
When I set up the Forums page, no forums appear. I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function groups_total_forum_topic_count() in /home/skills4admins/skills4admins.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-template.php on line 157
How can I fix this?
B. At the bottom of the same 16 files, replace:
`
`
with the following (except for registration/register.php):
`
`
with the following for registration/register.php:
`
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});
`
Save files.
C. Upload the 6 BP folders containing the 16 files you revised up to your server wp-content/themes/clearphoto/
D. You might also want to check out the style modifications made in BP Twenty Ten for reference especially with removing the bullets and bringing in the extended width of the BP elements. https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/
